[Chorus]
Don't lose your temper
Don't lose your temper
Don't lose your temper
'Cause I love you when you're wild
Don't lose your temper
Don't lose your temper
Don't lose your temper
'Cause I'd hate you to grow mild
[Verse 1]
Since you took that job with a company
You've changed so much
You just won't recognize me
They have you dressed up like a secretary
You mustn't change the things that make you what you are
[Chorus]
Don't lose your temper
Don't lose your temper
Don't lose your temper
'Cause I love you when you're wild
Don't lose your temper
Don't lose your temper
Don't lose your temper
'Cause I'd hate you to grow mild
[Verse 2]
Since you've been listening to that Linguaphone
You're speaking in a voice that's not your own
I'm not sure if it's you when I call home
You mustn't change the things that make you what you are
[Chorus]
Don't lose your temper
Don't lose your temper
Don't lose your temper
'Cause I love you when you're wild
Don't lose your temper
Don't lose your temper
Don't lose your temper
'Cause I'd hate you to grow mild
[Bridge]
Whatever happened to my fighting, biting, lightning lioness?
Little girl, little girl
Little girl, little girl
I think I preferred it when your hair was in a mess
Brittle girl, brittle girl
They're not your real curls
[Chorus]
Don't lose your temper
Don't lose your temper
Don't lose your temper
'Cause I love you when you're wild
Don't lose your temper
Don't lose your temper
Don't lose your temper
'Cause I'd hate you to grow mild
[Outro]
Don't lose it, don't lose it, don't lose it
(Don't lose your temper)
Don't lose it, don't lose it, don't lose it
(Don't lose your temper)
Don't lose it, don't lose it, don't lose it
(Don't lose your temper)
Don't lose it, don't lose it, don't lose it
(Don't lose your temper)
